Met a dancer
who was high
in a field
from her movement
Caught my breath
on my way home
Couldn't stop that
spinning force
I felt envy
Everything around
seemed to giggle
You are up with
the flower
and I cared
Found a dancer
who gets wild
to the beats
of record rhythm
But I'm always
away for weeks
That pass slow my
mind gets lost
Feeling envy
for the kid who'll
dance despite anything
I walked out in
the flowers
and feel better
If I could just
leave my body
for the night
Then we could be dancing
No more missing you
while I'm gone
There we could be dancing
And you'd smile and say
I like this song
And when our eyes
will meet there
We will recognize
nothing's wrong
And I wouldn't feel
so selfish
I won't be this way
very long
To hold you in time
To hold you in time
To hold you in time
To hold you in time
While we were dancing
Early hours drunken days
finally ended
And the streets turned
for a pillowcase
Then I fumbled
our good luck
Then the ecstasy
turns to rising light
Through our windowpane
now I'm gone
I left flowers
for you there
